My photo pal Sara Honanie and I went scouting for interesting portraiture locations today. We were searching for a good place to shoot her Middle School graduation pix. We found this awesome spot on the White Mesa, just a bit east of Page Arizona. Tomorrow night we’ll come back and see what we can do with a combination of starlight and some stylish LED light painting. I’ll bet we do very well! @sarahonanie @honanie2832 #arizona #hopi #canonusa #betherevolution #teamcanon #stellaprolights #canonexploreroflight #arizonahighways #productionlife #environmentalportrait #sandiskextremeteam

I took a little drive out to see if the Chocolate Falls were running yesterday. Sure enough, they were! #betherevolution #water #flashflood #canonexploreroflight #productionlife #nature #arizonahighways #desert #overlanding #canon5dmarkiv @canonusa @overlandjournal @expeditionportal

“Clear!” Like all wild cats, Tigress was a bit cantankerous when first awakened but she was always ready for a twilight dogfight... Imagine the scene, execute the scene. Exciting imagery always starts with an interesting concept...

“Tigress had managed to beat the storm back to her lair but... where the hell was the rest of the squadron?!?” When you have a clear mental picture of the story you’re telling, lighting requirements and shot blocking become much easier to create. Imagine the scene, execute the scene. #teamcanon #canonusa #canonexploreroflight #canoneos #directorofphotography #setlife #behindtheshot #BeTheRevolution #productionlife #model #photography #cinematography @stephersworst

From a mentoring video series I created for Canon. In this episode, I work with a pilot and amateur photographer to create some cool pix of his P-51 replica. You can find the multi-part series on Vimeo with a quick Google search. This episode is entitled “Brucie Interrupted: Ace’s High” #teamcanon #canonusa #canonexploreroflight #photography #portraiture #warbirds #beautylight #productionlife #setlife Cast: @stephersworst Crew: @alan_scott_davis @johndedios

I captured this production still while mentoring the creators of a social media video for Volare Helicopters, a flying service based in Tucson, Arizona. The promotional video, “Love is in the Air”, was released on this past Valentine’s Day. The tiny tale of intrigue follows a mysterious couple as they independently travel to a sunset rendezvous – the gentleman arriving via helicopter and the lady by four-wheel-drive. The video crew used Canon 5D MKIV cameras (in 4K mode) to capture the First Unit, Second Unit, and BTS footage. All sequences were lensed with the EF 16-35 f4L IS USM, EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-56L IS II USM zooms. The video shot list was long (and the shooting schedule short) giving me few opportunities to grab still shots for lighting and color-grading reference. To work quickly, I elected to use Canon’s EOS R full-frame mirrorless camera and two tasty RF lenses; the RF 35mm F1.8 IS Macro STM and RF 50mm F1.2L USM. I used the 35mm for wide master shots and the 50mm for tighter coverage. The image shown here was captured with the RF 5omm F/1.2L USM and I must say I love the beautiful bokeh of this lens. It’s a treat to know that I can count on razor-sharp principal focus even when shooting at or near wide-open apertures. For me, it was love at first sight! See a clip from the video at: https://vimeo.com/320402123 Camera: Canon EOS R Lens: RF 50mm F1.2L USM. Aperture: f/1.6 Shutter Speed: 1/640th ISO: 800 @canonusa #canon #teamcanon #canoneos #EOSR #BeTheRevolution #canonexploreroflight #behindtheshot #photography #setlife #helicopter

Teaching and mentoring gives me a lot of pleasure and I’m thinking about offering a few workshops. Anybody up for some on-location learning? Where would you like to shoot? #arizona #canonexploreroflight #destinationworkshops #beauty #model #swimwear #portraiture #photography #travel #expeditionportal

Although this is just the tip of the iceberg, Marie Kondo would pee her pants if she saw the changes I’m making to my lil’ shop. And really, isn’t that every mechanic’s goal? #tidyingupwithmariekondo #manlythings #gearhead #teamcanon #overlandjournal #fordexpedition #snowedin #snapon #obsessivecompulsivedisorder

We’re gonna need a bigger boat. Or at least bigger tires... #4wd #snowmageddon #fordf250 #teamcanon #arizona #fordtrucks #blizzard #snow #snowday #expeditionvehicle #expeditionportal #overlandjournal
